aKathys What's for Dinner? 4/29

Good Morning!

scrapmaven is your virtual appt about your upcoming surgery?

jeremysgirl glad you are having a good day lady and that DS is out of the hospital. Sending continued good vibes for you both.


Well our storms have passed for now, we will have gorgeous 75 degree sunny days till the next round on Sunday. I'm over this season! Dammit I wish basements were more common in OK. I'm ready for when it's 110 degrees and there's nothing to do but float in the pool all day.

Greek was yummy last night, totally hit the spot. Tonight I think I'm going to make some stir fry.

jeremysgirl - I hope things continue to move in the right direction for your DS.

I have had a mixed day today. I woke late, so my early morning walk became a mid morning walk. I have also been battling my printer. For some reason, it doesn't want to print on 4x6 photo paper. It kept jamming, and at one point I thought I had broken something, as I couldn't get the paper tray back into position after removing a jam. Fortunately, the age old remedy of turning it off, then back on again did the trick. It still isn't printing on 4x6 paper,  but I was able to print four 4x6 photos on one A4 page, so at least I have the photos I need for the page I want to do.

Dinner tonight is tacos made with pulled pork. The pork has been in the slow cooker since this morning and is ready to shred. Everything else is last minute, once DH tells me he's coming home. It takes him about 20 minutes from the office to here, which is plenty of time to chop tomatoes and lettuce!

I made pasta salad with a ton of chopped vegetables and cut-up rotisserie chicken. It is delicious. Fruit salad, too.

Happy to hear about your ds, jeremysgirl . Progress.

Thanks for the thread, scrapmaven . Hoping for the best for MIL. Tell her you are the Queen. And the Empress. And the Grandest Poobahlette.

I lost my mind last night when I was putting dinner leftovers away. My fridge is full and apparently ds isn't eating leftovers for lunch instead going to a drive through.

So tonight we are having leftover pork chops, enchiladas, shepherds pie, sausages and potatoes, and corn. An eclectic array but there is enough there that no one will go hungry. I will have my fridge empty and about 10 tupperware containers emptied.

jeremysgirl - I am happy your ds is doing so well

@sunnycamom - hope you get your call and get in quick

This made me laugh hard! Any chance your MIL and lucyg mother know each other?? They seem like they'd either be best friends or just hate each other.

I'm heading out for my second vaccine and then to pick up a few things for DD's Saturday birthday and Greek Easter. It will be a busy weekend coming up for us!

The planned dinner is a sheet pan with chicken sausages, potatoes, carrots, onions and beets. Plans may change if it gets too hot to turn on the oven.

Happy Thursday fellow tribe friends.

It's been a whirlwind week and I'm so ready for the weekend.

Work has been incredibly busy, Biden's ARPA COBRA act is causing nothing but headache and unaddressed scenarios for my work life. I send one e-mail, get 12 questions back in response, and those answers lead to 50 more questions. ugh.

I met my neice, DIL and SIL for lunch today, so dinner will be light, I'm thinking flatbreads.

jeremysgirl I'm glad your having a good day and that your son is on the right path.
scrapmaven When my dad was nearing the end of his days I had numerous calls with his dentist. But in reverse, the dentist would suggest things my dad needed done and I'd have to call Tom, the dentist, a family friend and remind him that my dad was not long for this world and that thousands of 4 of dental work wasn't going to make a difference at this point. I felt like he was really just using my dad to put his daughter thru college. My dad always thought what Tom said was what he needed to have done.
Your MIL sounds like my feisty grandmother that lived to be 98 and hating being in the home with all those " old" people. I love the spunk of the feisty older generation.

Wishing everyone a great day!

I am on my own tonight too. So it will be chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese.

We ordered a Murphy bed for the cabin because a basement bedroom just isn’t in the budget after finding out how much more we owe in taxes. So we came up to work on it and I thought I’d finish my mud room project. Except I forgot the trim/shelf molding for the top of the board & batten at home.
Messy painters were back and of course made more mess. 😡dH doesn’t want to hear anymore about it or complain anymore because he’s afraid they may vandalize something.
It’s also raining all day here. I haven’t gone into town to the grocery store so we may get bbq from a local nearby.

It’s NFL draft tonight so dh will monopolize the tv. I have zero interest in that.

scrapmaven I hope your calls go well.

jeremysgirl I’m glad your son is home. Hope you’re feeling ok.

🤞🏻PolarGreen12 for no storms

Lunch with my friend was awesome! We hugged for a long time and sat at the restaurant eating and yakking from 11:30 until 1:30. We had so much to catch up on! I had a Chicken Caesar Salad that was so delicious I ate every bite and wanted to lick the plate!!

It felt so normal!

Popping in to say ravioli for dinner - I thought this week would be a little less crazy, but not so far. Wishing all of you health and happiness!

I am sooooooo looking forward to my ASD mom breakfast get together this coming fall.

Hugs to you!
